Central Asians are therefore today a variable mix of Caucasoids and Mongoloids, formed over the last few millennia, although the constituent elements are still present and recognizable. The Turkicization of the region was, to a large extent, the result of language shift among Iranian populations (Sakas-Scythians), but not without some genetic contribution from the original Turks who were a Mongoloid people akin to their linguistic Altaic cousins, the Mongols. This Mongoloid component is attenuated westward, reaching its minimum among Anatolian and Balkan Turkish speakers.
- Using modern south Asians as representatives of a source population of Central Asia is problematic, as modern south Asians are admixed, comprised of Caucasoids and indigenous South Asians. While South Asia may have been a population source during remote periods of the Paleolithic, in the more recent post-Neolithic times when Central Asian populations were formed, South Asia was a population sink.
- The use of only a few autosomal markers does give a broad overview of the east-west components in these populations, but it should be noted that the use of few markers tends to overestimate minority ancestral components.
Even with such a small number of markers, it is evident that the separation of groups at the population level is possible, as the correspondence analysis indicates: green/European, red/East Asian, blue/Indo-Iranian from Central Asia, orange/Turkic from Central Asia.
The paper includes STRUCTURE results for K=2 to K=6. Below is the STRUCTURE run for K=6:
While less distinct than what we would get with more markers, the emergence of several clusters of individuals is apparent (from left to right: East Asian, Turkic, Central Asian Iranian, South Asian, West Eurasian, Sub-Saharan). Notice how Hazaras and Uyghurs are islands of the Turkic component in the Central/South Asian cluster, and how some Uzbeks are Iranian-like while others are Turkic-like. I am reminded of an older study which found how mythology was used among some Uzbek groups to create a common ancestry for groups of unrelated origin.

In the heartland of Eurasia: the multilocus genetic landscape of Central Asian populations
Begoña Martínez-Cruz
Located in the Eurasian heartland, Central Asia has played a major role in both the early spread of modern humans out of Africa and the more recent settlements of differentiated populations across Eurasia. A detailed knowledge of the peopling in this vast region would therefore greatly improve our understanding of range expansions, colonizations and recurrent migrations, including the impact of the historical expansion of eastern nomadic groups that occurred in Central Asia. However, despite its presumable importance, little is known about the level and the distribution of genetic variation in this region. We genotyped 26 Indo-Iranian- and Turkic-speaking populations, belonging to six different ethnic groups, at 27 autosomal microsatellite loci. The analysis of genetic variation reveals that Central Asian diversity is mainly shaped by linguistic affiliation, with Turkic-speaking populations forming a cluster more closely related to East-Asian populations and Indo-Iranian speakers forming a cluster closer to Western Eurasians. The scattered position of Uzbeks across Turkic- and Indo-Iranian-speaking populations may reflect their origins from the union of different tribes. We propose that the complex genetic landscape of Central Asian populations results from the movements of eastern, Turkic-speaking groups during historical times, into a long-lasting group of settled populations, which may be represented nowadays by Tajiks and Turkmen. Contrary to what is generally thought, our results suggest that the recurrent expansions of eastern nomadic groups did not result in the complete replacement of local populations, but rather into partial admixture.

Dr. Murray Feingold: Should you shake hands with your doctor?
I routinely greet adult patients with a handshake. If it's a child, then a "high-five" usually suffices. In fact, there have been articles chiding physicians for not properly introducing themselves or greeting their patients. Now, it appears that handshakes may become a "no, no" in medical care settings, such as hospitals.
Here is the story behind the story.
Studies have shown that the hands of health-care workers are frequently contaminated with organisms such as bacteria that are associated with various infectious diseases.
As a result, diseases can spread from one person to another just by shaking hands.
One solution to spreading disease via a handshake is thorough hand washing. However, studies have also shown that many physicians and other health care workers do not consistently or effectively wash their hands before seeing patients.
The same can be said of patients who may also be harboring infectious agents. Remember, the reason they are in the hospital is because they are ill, and frequently the illness is due to an infectious disease.
But a handshake between patient and doctor represents more than just a greeting, it has been shown to improve the empathy between both of them. It helps provide a warmer relationship which is so important in the practice of medicine.
Shaking hands in not a new concept and has been present even in ancient Greece. It is almost a universal gesture not only when greeting someone but also when saying goodbye.
And, if patient and doctor can't shake hands, how do they greet each other?
Will just a wave of the hand and a "Hi, how are you" suffice? Or, should they just bow to each other as it is done in some Asian countries.
When I'm in doubt about some medical finding, I say, "We need more studies." Yes, handshaking can spread infections, but how serious is it?
Is it serious enough to prohibit the time-honored gesture of shaking hands? In medical facilities do we need to place another sign next to the "No Smoking" sign that says, "No Handshaking?"
I raise my, hopefully, non-contaminated hand in protest to such action. Let's first be certain that it is necessary and secondly, make greater efforts for all of us to engage in better hand hygiene.

Rockford early childhood program readies for consolidation
5 elementary schools would no longer offer pre-K
ROCKFORD — Within the Rockford School District's $250 million capital improvement plan is a proposal to make sweeping changes to the district's prekindergarten program serving 2,600 of the district's youngest students.
The plan is to take almost all of the program's students and place them at early childhood centers. Right now, the program's 77 classrooms are spread out among three centers, seven elementary schools and two day care centers.
The idea behind the consolidation is to improve the quality of education offered to all prekindergarten students in the district by sidestepping structural challenges at elementary schools and ensuring that all prekindergarteners have easy access to the same resources.
It's a lot of little things that add up. The playground equipment at elementary schools tends to be too big for 3- and 4-year-olds. Most of the playgrounds lack a fence, as well, something early childhood programs are expected to have. Then there's the rooms themselves, where SMARTBoards have been installed at elementary height as opposed to pre-K height. Bathrooms and water fountains pose challenges, as well. Prekindergarteners need to have 20 minutes of gym time a day, as well, which takes place in school foyers at some elementary schools.
While some of the district's elementary school-based prekindergarten classrooms are long-standing, some are not. Some go from school to school depending on the space available. That poses less of a problem for parents, whose children typically are only in the program for one year, but more of a problem for teachers and support staff who are in a constant state of settling in.
"We're wanting to provide the best and highest quality early childhood we can, and we believe that having space dedicated specifically to early childhood needs with the right-sized bathrooms and playgrounds, with the right resources and best opportunities for professional development for the staff, is in centers," said Kim Nelson, the district's executive director of early childhood education. "Early childhood really is a separate animal with a lot of rules and expectations that do not apply to elementary. It can be very difficult to duplicate the experience we provide at a center at an elementary school with two pre-K teachers.
"This is an opportunity for us to bring it all back in line."
Early childhood shuffle
If the Rockford School Board approves the capital plan next month, the proposed changes would be implemented over time. No changes would take place until after the 2014-2015 school year.
Specific to early childhood: Dennis Early Childhood Center on the city's far west side would close. Fairview and Summerdale would remain. Nashold and Beyer elementary schools would become early childhood centers. Classes offered through Trinity and Circles of Learning day care centers would remain intact as would two classrooms at Haskell Year-Round Academy to accommodate parents seeking a longer school year for their children. Maria Montessori runs its own prekindergarten program, which would remain intact as well.
Classes at Marsh, Riverdahl, Rolling Green, West View and White Swan would move to one of the district's new early childhood centers. The number of classrooms would remain the same, Nelson said, barring any unexpected increases in grant funding. Classroom sizes would stay the same, too. The program has five self-contained special education prekindergarten classes, which would stay.
Laurie Pellant, an early childhood teacher at Fairview Early Childhood Center, has spent more than 25 years in early childhood education in public, private and day care settings. She's also taught at early childhood centers and in classrooms added to elementary school programs. She supports the district's efforts to consolidate early childhood programs at centers designed for quality prekindergarten education.
Pellant was fortunate, she said, that she had many years of experience before she taught for one year with one other pre-K teacher at McIntosh Elementary School in Rockford.
The school's leadership was welcoming and supportive, Pellant said, but there are just some things that difficult to work around regardless of cooperation.
"You don't really realize the ease of the gymnasium being set up all day with an obstacle course for 3- and 4-year-olds, and all you have to do is go down with your students and take your turn," Pellant said. "You can't really do that at an elementary school. They need the gym for other things. You have to keep the kids off the playground equipment that's too big for them. Then there's the whole collaboration aspect. I have 18 teachers to work with and bounce ideas off of where I am now. Our specialists are not only specialists in speech or special education but they are certified in early childhood speech and special education. That makes a difference."
When things like gym time scheduling and playground equipment and the level of sinks are off the table, there's more time for education, Pellant said.
"I think the teachers who move from an elementary school to a center will see a lot of ways where the building is set up for them and for the younger children," she said. "And that makes it better for them and their students."
The typical Rockford early childhood student attends class for two hours and 45 minutes a day for one year before they enroll in kindergarten. It's one of the largest prekindergarten education programs in Illinois.
Programs vary statewide
Early childhood education programs at public schools are varied across the state. Some districts have centers. Some provide prekindergarten at elementary schools. Some do a mix like Rockford does now. Some don't offer it at all. Prekindergarten education is not mandated in Illinois.
In the Belvidere School District, prekindergarten expansion talks are underway. Right now, the district has prekindergarten for special education students only. It serves about 85 children.
The district hoped to offer general education prekindergarten in the coming school year, but leaders were unable to find the funding.
"It's one of my goals to add prekindergarten for at-risk students in a general education setting this year," said Matt Ross, Belvidere's director of special education. "Our kids need it. Nearly 50 percent of our students are on free or reduced-price lunch."
Belvidere's prekindergarten program for special education students is housed in five classrooms at four of the district's elementary schools. General education pre-K likely would be added at elementary schools.
"The plan would be to run them at our elementary buildings," Ross said. "We don't really have a building available to run a center."
Several districts are looking to add early childhood centers, Nelson said. The state even offered a new grant last year to help school districts pay for construction of new centers.
Rockford's early childhood program costs about $13.8 million a year. That includes a birth-to-3-year-old home visiting program for about 200 families. Most of it comes from grants. The district chipped in $1.6 million last year, up from about $400,000 the previous year.
"They put a stake in the ground," Nelson. "The reason they did that is because there's good data out there that children who attend early childhood do better when they get to kindergarten. There's a decrease in criminal activity and teen pregnancy and an increase in the number of kids who attend college. ... When you have 92 percent of your students reading at grade level at graduation if they read at grade level at third grade, why would we not concentrate our efforts on birth to third grade? When we miss that mark, we know our kids struggle, which is why it's so important to put programming in place to support our children before they get to that mark."

How to Use Mirrors in Your Garden
Bright beacon
An old door now draws all eyes to this sitting area. Bright paint and simple framework keep the focus on the reflection.
Suitable frame
Mirror fills the elegant lines of this old window to bounce natural light around a porch.
Spot of color
Hung on an outside wall, this boldly colored mirror injects fun while reflecting greenery. Get greenery even where it won't grow by hanging a mirror in sightline of plants.
Fill a wall
Even with vines twining over it, this privacy fence would be a dark blot without the big mirror. The circular shape also breaks up the lines of the fence.
Punctuate the look
A mirror is an exclamation point above lush flowerbeds. The mirror also brightens what would be a darker part of the bed.
Double the impact
Mirrors double the impact of statement pieces like this. The red frame means there is no overlooking it.
Decorative touch
The elegant lines of this mirror echo the classic styling of the urn and shrubs. A graceful arch of greenery frames the composition.
Tiny touch
Just a small rectangle of light-reflecting surface area adds the right level of brightness amid the jumble of fun pieces. Its colorful frame suits the mood, too.
Shadow stunner
Placed at the back of an arbor, the mirror keeps the statue from being hidden in the recesses of a shadows.
Inside styling
Just as you would hang art above an indoor fireplace, do so outside. Here, the mirror and its ornate frame work as art.
Breathing room
When placed so they reflect calm, mirrors provide a visual break. Here, it's quiet among a mishmash of art, but it would do the same in a profusion of plants.
Artistic element
The porthole effect of this mirror is secondary to the graphic nature of its impact. Mirrors come in all shapes and sizes, so choose one that fits your garden style while wowing viewers.

We sure hope you like Bing.
Even if you're generally a Google search guy or gal, there's a good chance you'll end up using a lot of Bing services in Windows 8. The tablet-y portion of the operating system comes with seven Bing applications covering a range of services—general search, maps, news, weather, sports, travel, and finance. The apps are pretty and responsive, not to mention faster and more fluid than the Bing iPad app. They make it easy to find what you're looking for, and for some people they might provide a more convenient entry point to the Web than the browser itself.
You can still use Google in Microsoft's browser, but the cumbersome process of changing the default search provider in Internet Explorer is indicative of the company's add-on and app-based search strategy. Just as in Windows 7, changing IE's default search engine to Google requires locating and downloading a Google search add-on from Microsoft's Internet Explorer Gallery, (and it has to be done on the desktop version of IE rather than the touch-friendly one).
The benefit of the search add-ons for Internet Explorer isn't readily apparent; they promise "search predictions" and "suggestions," as if there were no other way to implement that functionality. (Chrome, by contrast, lets you change the default search provider to Bing in the browser settings.) But the use of browser add-ons instead of mere settings changes seems like a precursor to what's found in Windows 8, which goes further by bundling the Bing apps into the operating system, lessening the user's reliance on the browser. Search isn't just something that happens on the Web or in a little box in the corner of your browser in Microsoft's world these days. Search is an application. Many of them, in fact.
Let's take a look at them, shall we?
Bing Search: Not quite the hub it should be
The Bing Search app greets you with roughly the same home page you'll see by navigating to Bing.com in a browser, with the search bar up top, the picture of the day filling the screen, and a list of trending topics. If you search, you'll get some suggestions. What should I search for?
You can search the "Web" or "Images." There isn't a news (or any other type of) search here, because that's in the separate Bing News app. It's inconvenient, but after selecting "what should I search for on Bing," my results look like this:
To bring up additional search results, you scroll to the right and they just keep popping up, with little delay. But that's about as far as you can go in the app itself. Actually clicking on a search result brings you out of the app and into IE10, or whatever your default browser is:
The search results in the Bing app aren't as smart as they are on Bing.com. You can search for "weather" and get actual weather forecasts without clicking any of the search results, just like on the Bing website. But if you search the app for, say, "flight to Hawaii," you'll get a list of travel sites but not the actual flight result search tool the Bing website provides. You have to use the separate Bing Travel tool for that.
There are some hooks between the Bing Search app and the others, but not as many as we'd like. The weather search we mentioned brings up a tile that, when clicked, moves you over to the Weather app. But in travel, searching for flights doesn't provide any way to go directly to the Travel app. Instead, you get results from various travel websites or the Bing travel website itself, and clicking any one of them brings you into the Web browser rather than into the Travel app.
If you go back to the Bing Search app home screen and click "more" under the trending list, a Metro-esque series of tiles with the most-read about topics of the day pops up:
And clicking on one of the topics will bring up another list of stories, also within the app:
Just as in the regular search results, clicking on any particular story brings you out of the app and into the browser.
As you might know, there are two ways to reveal additional options in a Windows 8 Metro app. One is swiping down from the top or up from the bottom (or right-clicking), and the other is swiping in from the right (or with a mouse, moving the cursor to the top or bottom right of the screen). In Bing Search, swiping down on the home screen gives you the option to set the picture of the day as your lock screen photo, but that's about it.
Swiping in from the right lets you share search results via e-mail and other means, and brings up several more options. You can connect to Facebook to "do more with your friends on Bing," but the integration doesn't seem to do much if anything in the app. While searching Bing in a browser while connected to Facebook brings up a separate list of Facebook results, no such thing happens in the app itself.
Other options in the sidebar include setting the adult content filter to "strict," "moderate," or "off," clearing your search history, and deciding whether Bing should store your search history at all. Overall, the Bing search app isn't much more than Bing in the browser, and sometimes it's less.
Bing News: The Windows 8 daily newspaper
Since you can't get news search results in the main Bing app, we have Bing News! And it's quite nice. Above you see the app's home page. If you keep scrolling to the right you'll see stories from various sections like business, technology, entertainment, sports, and so forth. These are not customizable, but the app is not without customization options. If you swipe down, you'll get options to look at breaking news, video, some top sources like AP, the New York Times and Wall Street Journal, or dive into a bigger list of news sources.
Customization comes into play in "My News," where you can add sections by searching for news topics.
Unlike the Bing Search app, you can actually read full articles in Bing News, and in a nice clean layout:
The Share option, naturally, lets you share news stories via e-mail, Twitter applications, Evernote, and so forth. But sharing is fraught with problems. The links can look a little bizarre as they are prepended with something like "bingnews://application/view?entitytype=article&pageid" etc.
As noted in our Windows 8 review, these links are designed to be opened only in Windows 8. So when I e-mail a story to myself, the e-mail will say "If you have Windows 8, open this in News." Clicking on the link in a non-Windows 8 computer does nothing, of course. But even from within the Windows 8 Mail client, I had trouble opening these links. From my personal (Yahoo) address I could open them. From my work (Exchange) address, I could not.
Moving on, Bing News has a video player embedded, as you can see here (quality varies by source):
But the list of top videos of the day is static—you can't search it, so just be happy with the videos Bing gives you:
The existence of the Bing News app doesn't justify leaving news search out of the general search application, I don't think. But it works pretty well.

text: Robert Pattinson and Kristen Stewart are meeting in secret, according to E! News. I suppose it's not a secret to them. The "Twilight" actors ended their three-year relationship in May. Nevertheless, they reportedly spent time together Wednesday in Los Angeles. They were spotted leaving a meet-up spot in their respective vehicles. Pattinson was in his Jeep, following Stewart in her blue Toyota pickup truck. The website speculated that their reunion may have been broken-up by the paparazzi, who photographed them driving away. This report conflicts with one from E! News last week, quoting a source denying that they were hooking up whenever they both happened to be in town. And because you're desperate for an update: Stewart spent time in Europe over the summer, traveling and shooting the film "Sils Maria" with Juliette Binoche and Chloe Grace Moretz. Pattinson was frequently seen around Los Angeles with various female friends and his female trainer. He went to a screening of the documentary "Seduced and Abandoned" Oct. 23 and the following night was at the Australians in Film Awards gala in Beverly Hills.

She's hot; he's cold - battling body temperatures
By Val Willingham
In February, my husband and I will celebrate our 27th wedding anniversary. Many marriage experts will tell you, if a couple have survived that long, they've pretty much worked out the kinks in their relationship. And for the most part, that's true when it comes to my hubby and me; except for one thing. We fight constantly over the temperature on our car's thermostat.
I have always been one of those people who feel warm all the time. I can be out in 20-degree weather in Syracuse and I'm sweating. My husband, on the other hand, is forever cold. His feet, ears, hands, (everything but his heart) are always freezing. A 90-degree day in Miami is comfy for him. So whether we use the heater or the air conditioner in the car is always an issue.
Why the difference? It seems that each one of us has our own body temperature, regulated by the human thermostat, known as the hypothalamus. This section of the brain controls our body temps. The average temperature of the human body is 98.6 degrees. But according to doctors, many of us have body temperatures that can vary, plus or minus, within a few degrees of that number. So what is a "normal" temperature for some is not always "normal" for others. And because we are mammals and not reptiles, our bodies adapt to cold and hot by either shivering or sweating, depending on our body temperature.
There are different factors that can affect whether our inner thermostats go up or down. Medication can cause our temps to change. Certain blood-thinning meds, pills for blood pressure and thyroid medication can all make our body temperatures dip. And illnesses including diabetes and hypothyroidism can cause us to become chilly.
Muscle mass is another factor. A lot of people think fat can insulate the body, and for the most part it helps. But lean muscle mass requires more energy to run and so increases the metabolic rate to process calories into usable fuel for muscle. That keeps us toasty. And water helps. Health experts say drinking water can regulate body temperatures and keep them level.
Our age also makes a difference. By the time we reach our 50s, the difference in body temperatures between men and women becomes apparent. Ladies begin to feel the effects of menopause, and "hot flashes" can make them so uncomfortable that many want to participate in their local "Polar Bear" plunge sans bathing suit! Men can begin to face circulation problems earlier than women. Bad circulation can keep blood from flowing to hands and feet, producing chilly extremities, which could drive even the most macho of men to wear mittens.
So the next time someone asks you why you're driving around with the air conditioner on in the middle of January…or wearing a parka in May, say, "It's not me, it's my hypothalamus!!!" At least that's what I keep telling my husband.
Are you always cold or warm? What do you do to make yourself more comfortable? We'd love to hear about it.

Must-read: "Louisiana Incarcerated: How we built the world's prison capital"
The New Orleans Times-Picayune has an excellent series on how Louisiana became the world's leading jailer. The eight-part series begins with these sobering stats:
Louisiana is the world's prison capital. The state imprisons more of its people, per head, than any of its U.S. counterparts. First among Americans means first in the world. Louisiana's incarceration rate is nearly triple Iran's, seven times China's and 10 times Germany's. …
One in 86 adult Louisianians is doing time, nearly double the national average. Among black men from New Orleans, one in 14 is behind bars; one in seven is either in prison, on parole or on probation. Crime rates in Louisiana are relatively high, but that does not begin to explain the state's No. 1 ranking, year after year, in the percentage of residents it locks up.
In Louisiana, a two-time car burglar can get 24 years without parole. A trio of drug convictions can be enough to land you at the Louisiana State Penitentiary at Angola for the rest of your life.
